QSpeed Fast-Melt CoQ10: Review

Disclosure: I got this product as part of an advertorial.

Nuline Nutritionals (Speed Nutritionals) was founded in 2011, in New York City. Their mission is to manufacture high-quality dietary supplements with a patented "fast-melt" technology. Their supplements are all created in Switzerland in a cGMP facility, which means that their products comply with Good Manufacturing Standards. Products are routinely tested for purity. Nuline Nutritionals guarantees that you fill find "no artificial flavors, artificial sweeteners, or preservatives" in their supplements.

Nuline Nutritionals currently produces DSpeed (a fast-melt Vitamin D3 supplement) and QSpeed Fast-Melt CoQ10, which this review will focus on. I was generous enough to be given one package of QSpeed Fast-Melt CoQ10 (100 mg) for the purpose of this review.

CoQ10 is a fat-soluble coenzyme naturally found in our bodies that helps speed up chemical reactions and acts as an antioxidant to protect cells from harmful free radicals. Many people are deficient in the proper amount of CoQ10, which also comes from a healthy diet. Though these statements have not been evaluated by the FDA, CoQ10 has implications in heart health, energy production, and increased exercise performance, with clinical studies backing this information. To learn more about what you might use CoQ10 for, visit the QSpeed CoQ10 website.

You can take one to three tablets daily. If you are taking while exercising, take 1-3 tablets 20-40 minutes before exercising. You simply place the tablet on the top of your tongue and press your tongue lightly up against the roof of your mouth, waiting for the tablet to fully disintegrate.

What is special about QSpeed Fast-Melt CoQ10?

First of all, this CoQ10 supplement is all-natural. Second of all, where else can you find a DISSOLVING CoQ10 tablet? Usually these supplements come in pill form. This fast-melt tablet has an orange flavor and literally melts in your mouth, which makes it a great alternative for the elderly, children, or anyone with health problems or who has difficulty swallowing large pills. This patented fast-melt formula was clinically proven to increase absorption. By taking a fast-melt tablet instead of a pill, you are bypassing the acidic conditions of the stomach. Besides the technology, the convenience is wonderful!

This supplement won the 2013 betternutrition "Best of Supplements Award", and the 2013 International Taste and Quality "Superior Taste Award".

Right now, you can purchase QSpeed Fast-Melt CoQ10 (100 mg) for just $16.29 per 40 tablets here, on Amazon. You can also a 40-tablet box on Speed Nutritional's website here, for $24.95. They also offer a 200 mg box for $33.95, and a 400 mg box for $44.95. Each of these is available in a three pack (100, 200, and 400 mg), at $70.95, $90.95, and $125.95, respectively. QSpeed Fast-Melt CoQ10 is also available at many natural health food stores across the country, so be on the look out!

I was skeptical when I first read about QSpeed Fast-Melt CoQ10 -- a great-tasting alternative to having to choke down a horse pill? It sounded too good to be true. For as long as I can remember, I have been one of those unfortunate people who has a very difficult time swallowing pills. As a child, I wasn't able to swallow them at all, which meant liquid or chewable formulas only. Unfortunately, I had to learn how to choke them down as an adult since many things only come in pill form, but I still have difficulty with the larger pills. Unfortunately, most supplements (especially CoQ10) come in these large pill form.

I was excited to see QSpeed's fast-melt tablet, and I decided to give it a try. I was pleasantly surprised! You know how most companies say that it has a "great flavor" (I'm thinking cough syrup, here), but it really tastes like poison? I'm assuring you that this time, that is not the case. The orange flavor is actually candy-like...it even tops TUMS for me! Why? Because there is no chalky after-taste. For me, with a dry mouth, it took about 30-45 seconds for the tablet to melt when I set it on top of my tongue and pressed my tongue against the roof of my mouth. This is less time than I usually take struggling to relax my throat enough to get a pill down. This is super convenient, and I wish that all supplements came in this form! The price is very reasonable, also. I would recommend this supplement to anyone, especially those that have trouble taking pills.
